    Why So Serious?

  • So I caught the Mich bowl game on ESPNU last night. How many starters are coming back off that team? After seeing that performance, Sep 1 can't get here soon enough. VaTech is so mediocre and could/should have won that game.

    We didn't play well at all that game. Your fanbase is becoming insufferable, good luck September 1st.

    What game should I check out to see Mich at their best? Why are we so bad? Cause we expect to win? No sense in being fake and acting like we don't expect the victory. You should expect to win too. Support your team.

    Check out the Nebraska game, I guess. There's a difference between confidence in your team and blind arrogance. The CFB world understands that Saban has put you guys on top, there's no need to act so insecure about it. I'm confident in my team, I'm not going to be belligerent about it, though.

    The nebraska game? The game where we had a total meltdown. Where we fumbled the ball like 5 times and made stupid penalty after penalty.

    Well..

    You could pick the ND game, but then Bama would see ND jump out to a 24-7 lead and tear up UM through the air and ground for over 500 total yards.. but hey, 28 4Q pts and two basic Hail Mary's to escape with the win at home at night is impressive

    You could pick the Nebraska game, and that was probably UM's best game, but as the poster pointed out above, that was only a 7 pt game until Nebraska fumbled the opening kickoff to start the 2H, (UM TD) then Neb Punter fumbled the snap on their next possession and UM blocked it (UM TD), so what was a 7 pt game turned into as 21 pt onslaught in the first 7min of the 3Q basically ending the game

    You could pick the OSU game, but then you'd see an offensive ranked 107th in the country throw up 34 points and 400 yards of offense on UM's daunting defense, which doesn't include 3 overthrows by Miller to Posey that would have led to OSU winning

    You could pick the VT game, like you said above, but do you really want to brag about winning a game with 180 yards of offense and 12 First Downs?

    So, I'd say their most impressive W was a 58-0 shellacking of Minnesota, at home, who was starting a true frosh QB in his first career start

    Some of every fanbase on here (message board) are A-holes, every one has them. Talk to people that go to games and you will find that the Bama fanbase as a whole is a classy bunch that embraces the game and the spirit of competition. Yes you can fina a drunk a-hole at Bryant-Denny, but show a school where you can't do this. Other schools that I consider to have similar fanbases: Oklahoma, PSU and a few others.

    Now some Bama posters on here make me a bit embarassed, but lets be real about this game.

    OL - Bama Big
    DL - Bama Big
    Skill - Wash at best due to D Rob's legs
    DBs - Bama
    ST - UM?

    In all reality if both teams (not fan bases) are ready to play and put forth 100% effort, Bama wins going away in the 2nd half barring some freak plays. UM simply isn't strong enough in the trenches to stay around for 4 quarters without some help.

    Hmm....how did I know you would respond again in a Michigan thread.

    And your weird obsession with UM continues... You sure you're not a Michigan fan?

    And most UM fans completely agree with your assessment of the game. Except for a few the most of us get that we're not on your level yet and will probably lose this game but some members of your fanbase feel the need to scream that from the rooftops. But I'll say there have been many classy Bama posters come over to the UM board to talk about the game and they weren't like the idiots itt at all.
